Multiple decoiling line 6x5000kg (11000lbs)

The efficient production of blanks requires keeping a wide range of entirely different coils on hand. To allow rapid access to different sheets, we developed a multiple decoiling system featuring automatic sheet change-over in less than 1 minute.

Our objectives in developing this line were:

fully automatic sheet change-over in the shortest possible time

programmable upper straightening shafts adjustment

programmable setting of slitting knives

the simplest possible operating

retrofitting

lower acquisition costs

one-worker operation

space savings

The Forstner fully-automatic decoiling, straightening, slitting and cut to length line offers features that an industrial production manager has only dreamed about. This line fulfils the demanding requirements of any sheet metal working industry.

Two to maximum six powered, cantilever, hydraulically expandable decoilers provide all advantages for efficient loading by fork lift, crane or scissor coil car and decoil or recoil your coils smoothly.

The sheet metal guide-lanes facilitate feeding the sheet into the powered coil selector and prevents damage to the surface of the coils. The guideways are powered for infeeding and guarantee the recoiling of your valuable material.

The coil change-over from one material to another is a fully automatic function of the coil selector and can easily be done by one operator. Changing from one coil width to the other is also an automatic process with the help of the powered edge-guide MFA.

Whenever a new coil is selected, the upper straightening shafts are automatically adjusted into a new position to ensure the required straightening quality. The coil-set is eliminated. Marks or lines from the upper straightening shafts can only be prevented by opening the upper straightening shafts during the standstill using the programmable straightener with sensitive material mode. We propose the programmable straightener when you are going to process sensitive material for high-quality and visible end products.

The heart of this line is the programmable slitter with automatic knife adjustment and scrap prevention. All assembled knives are automatically positioned in a short time and the upper knives are deactivated for cutting to length only or for scrap prevention.

Fast, burr less and precise cuts from the electric guillotine shear are achieved throughout the long life-time of this line.

The control makes the operation of the line a pleasure. The advanced control SPS-F2 version is outstanding not only for reliability, flexibility and precision but especially for ease of operation and unbeatable results. You can see easy understandable and logic symbols instead of text on the touch panel. An external programming can optionally be realized as well. More options for example remote control for decoilers and coil car, remote maintenance are often used by the industry.
